Is it ‘Laurel’ or ‘Yanny’? New soundbite triggers endless online debate

A widely-shared audio clip is polarizing social media users, with some hearing a voice saying “Laurel” and others “Yanny.”

The computer-generated sound bit surfaced online earlier this week.

The latest internet sensation has brought many back to the photo of the dress that caused nothing short of physical altercations between friends and family in 2015. Some said the dress was white and gold, others blue and black.

The true colour of the dress remains a mystery.

If you saw the dress as blue, you only hear Laurel. If you saw the dress as gold, you only hear Yanny.
